Chiantipy

it is now possible to incorporate a user created abundance file. It needs to be of the same structure as one of the .abund files in the XUVTOP/abundance directory. The file can be located anywhere on the user's computer. It will be read if the abundance keyword is set to a fully qualified file name of the new abundance file, such as '/home/me/myabudance.abund', or equally, '/home/me/myabudance.txt'

The core classes, bunch and the various spectrum classes, now have saveData methods to save calculations to a pickle file

by default, the PyQt widgets are now used a selection tools. The command line selection tools are still available but the ~/.chianti/chiantirc file needs to select them.

Problems with the ionGate method have been fixed. This method help to select which ions will be used in multi-ion calculations

The model module is more mature

For Windows users, it is now possible to place the chiantirc file in $PROJECTHOME/.config or $PROJECTHOME/.chianti

Many improved docstrings for the documentation

the bunch class has been moved to a new module core.Bunch

a number of jupyter ipython notebooks have been created/improved to demonstrate the use of the bunch, spectrum and model.Maker classes. A short README.txt can be found in the same directory provides an introduction to these notebooks

A bug in the inherited method base._IntensityRatio() was not properly corrected in v0.10.0. This is fixed here

Calculations of the free-bound/radiative recombination continuum and radiation losses depend on a file that provides and LS description of the bound and singly excited energy levels. This file is called c_5.fblvl in the case of C V. Not all ions have an associated .fblvl files and is was necessary to revise ChiantiPy to ignore the free-bound calculation for these ions.

In addition, it was found that under extreme conditions, such as very low temperatures for highly ionized species, that bad values would arise (Nans and infinities). These are now detected and removed.

The Karzas and Latter (1965) bound-free gaunt factors in the CHIANTI database have been corrected as of CHIANTI version 10. This effects the calculation of the free-bound continuum. The continuum.freeBound method has been updated to uses these new data.

The freeBound and the freeFree methods now have 2 new keyword variables: **includeAbund** and **includeIoneq**. Their initial values are True so that elemental abundance and the ionization equilibrium appropriate to the ion is included the the output spectrum.

The freeBoundEmiss is removed as it has become redundant

A new continuum method, freeBoundLossMao includes the radiative-recombination (free-bound) loss rate as calculatd by Mao et al. (2017)

a bug in the inherited method base._IntensityRatio() was corrected.

This is a bug-fix release. The inherited method base._IntensityRatio failed when trying to take the intensity ratio of lines from different ions
